Welcome to Houston's Clear Thinkers
Houston is the home of remarkably diverse and talented business and professional communities. Houston's Clear Thinkers is a weblog that focuses on developments in law, business, medicine, sports and other areas of special interest to the Houston legal, business and medical communities. My personal and professional background information may be reviewed here.
By way of background, Houston's Clear Thinkers is the natural evolution of a private email group that I have maintained over the past five years. Over that period, this email group steadily grew into an eclectic mix of over a hundred businesspeople, attorneys, doctors, accountants, teachers, and professors from Houston and other parts of the United States.
I am blessed to count each of these email group members as friends, and it is my hope that the Houston's Clear Thinkers weblog will introduce me to many new friends while I pass along matters of interest to the Houston business and professional communities.

Tom - I've been an admirer of Houston's Clear Thinkers for some time but haven't taken the time to say so; today's the day to correct that. Keep up the good work. John

Tom,
I look forward every day to your blog. Prior to getting hooked on your blog (a recent development), I avoided blogs as the musings of those who are pretenders. Now, I am a convert--at least to yours.
Your insights into the current Lay/Skilling trial are forcing me to stand back and objectively look at the overarching issues at stake.
Thanks for the blog--you are doing a great job! (By the way, we went to law school together a very long time ago.)
My best,
Bill Andrews

Here is an ethical question for an experienced blogger. Is it appropriate or fair for a blogger to "out" his audience? Lauren Steffy did today. I think this raises interesting ethical questions. We already knew his judgement was bad. What do you think?

Tom, there is a beautifully framed Vince Young
autographed (PSA/DNA) piece displayed at Michael Klein's Fine Jewelry (on Westheimer in Houston). The sale of these framed pieces (only 250) benefits 'The Children's Fund' charity---the picture is of 'The #1 Texas Orange Tower' (taken in the early AM) and has 2005 National Champions and the score of the Rose Bowl...Texas Longhorns 41-USC Trojans 38. I have been in the sports memorabilia business here in Houston for years
and this is the nicest UT piece I have ever seen... Every Longhorn should at least see it.
I just thought I would let you know...

Hey Tom,
I know you did a piece on Ben Hogan a couple of years ago, but did you know there is another new Hogan book coming out at the end of September 2006?
It's on Amazon under "The Secret of Hogan's Swing".
It got some good early reviews from John Andrisani and also Steven Pressfield.
Check it out.
Tom

Tom --
Every time I look at that beautiful photo of the Houston skyline, it simply kills me.
I lived in Houston for 21 years, and now have been away for 13, and still miss the Space City every day.
Your blog is good reading.
